The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT) has developed a new cubic equation of state (EOS) that provides a physical justification for a mathematical structure that the chemical and petroleum industries have relied on for more than half a century without a first-principles explanation.

No nicotine-containing products are safe for your heart

Smoking, vaping or taking a nicotine pouch – while not equally dangerous, all nicotine-containing products are harmful to the heart. Nicotine is harmful for cardiovascular health no matter whether it is consumed through smoking a cigarette or chewing tobacco, a major review published in Nature Reviews Cardiology today found. While novel nicotine products – such as e-cigarettes or nicotine pouches – eliminate the smoke and combustion, they are still harmful for the heart.

Fisher-information limits of detector-bandwidth-efficient 3D light-field microscopy

arXiv:2608.19498v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Light-field microscopy enables snapshot volumetric imaging, but its information rate is constrained by both optical encoding and detector readout architecture. Here we develop a task-dependent Fisher-information framework that evaluates optical encoders relative to the detector resource limiting acquisition throughput. We compare full Fourier light-field microscopy (FLFM), squeezed light-field microscopy (SLIM), and frame-rate-matched FLFM...
